Chapter 937: Unlucky and Lucky Child

The rice country on the other side of the ocean.

As a state close to the Great Lakes, Wisconsin's presence is not strong.

It's not an economically prosperous area, and the median annual household income of the middle class is just over $53,000, which is still before taxes.

If it is calculated after tax, and then remove the messy expenses such as insurance money, basically one can get 3,000 yuan in his hand, which is considered a good middle class.

It's just that the price of daily necessities in the United States is very cheap, and two or three hundred yuan can buy all the daily necessities that the whole family needs for a week, so the Engel coefficient is not high.

But as an ordinary family, there are many people who only have an income of one or two thousand dollars a month.

For example, the per capita annual income of New York in 2018 is not more than 23,000 US dollars, which is less than 2,000 a month.

So the residents living in Wisconsin are not as chic as we imagined.

There are only two of the most developed regions in the real United States.

One is New York City and the other is California.

California is also blessed with a large number of wealthy Chinese Americans who have moved to this area, which has led to the economic prosperity of the state.

Wisconsin is mostly inhabited by locals, and there is not much mobility, so life is relatively monotonous.

But there are still all the commercial facilities that should be available here.

Don't look at the fact that 90% of the people in the United States do not have a high income, but they are very willing to consume.

After the monthly salary is paid, I directly change my credit card, and then continue to use my credit card...... Such days are common for them.

But because of this habit of using money when they have money and using it if they don't have money, it is easy for them to lose any money if they encounter an emergency.

This is the case in the Raylison family, for example.

Yesterday, 16-year-old Raylison suffered the greatest joy and the greatest sorrow of his life.

The biggest sadness is that my father was hit by a runaway truck on his way to work, and then the kid abandoned the car and fled, and he has not been found.

But at the same time, my father's medical treatment could not be stopped.

The hospitals in the United States are treated first, and the cost will be discussed later.

But that doesn't mean you don't have any money.

In fact, the cost of the hospital in the United States is ridiculously high, and it costs two or three thousand dollars to dispatch an ambulance, even if the price in Wisconsin is not high, and it costs $2,000 at a time.

Not to mention the cost of first aid, treatment, recovery, etc., even if there is medical insurance, at least one or two thousand dollars must be prepared at home, which is barely enough.

To be honest, their family of three is okay to maintain their lives on weekdays, and they have never heard of savings or anything!

His parents were only two or three thousand dollars in their whole bodies.

For my father's medical expenses, my mother made many phone calls to borrow money, but there was no reply.

Now my mother doesn't go to work, so she can only go to the hospital to guard, otherwise you can't afford to hire a nurse, and no one can take care of you.

When he came home from the hospital last night, Rilison saw that his mother had been wiping away tears, and it was clear that there was nothing he could do.

And Rilison's biggest joy is that he went to join the registered membership of Adidas a few days ago, and chose to snap up a pair of "Shen Huan Championship Limited Edition" sneakers, which are the cheapest $399.

Because he only has more than 400 US dollars, this is the money he saved by working in the winter and summer vacations for 2 years.

As an avid basketball fan and a fan of Shen Huan, Raylison just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect to turn on the computer early yesterday morning, and he found that he had actually been drawn!

And today he will be able to go to the Adidas store in the city center to pay for the purchase.

As a result, he didn't wait long for him to rejoice, and the news of his father's car accident came, which greatly hit his happy mentality.

Since yesterday, he has been thinking about whether to buy these sneakers or not.

The family was already very short of money, and more than $400 was given to my mother, although it didn't play a big role, but it would definitely help.

But the price of this is that he or he will forever lose the opportunity to wear the "Shen Huan Championship Limited Edition" sneakers.

Even if there is a next time Shen Huan wins the championship, I am afraid that he will not be selected by the machine.

As an avid fan of Shen Huan, Raylison is very unwilling.

Of course, after careful consideration, Raylison actually has a third way to go.

It's the best he can think of right now.

That is, after taking the "Shen Huan Championship Limited Edition" sneakers, they will be sold on EBAY or Amazon, which can be sold for at least about 700 US dollars.

$700 is much more useful than $399.

Thinking of this, Rilison ate milk and hard bread, and rode his bicycle to the Adidas store in the downtown area.

Except for New York, the urban area of the United States is not large.

This is especially true of the city where Raylison lives, where there are three or five streets with all kinds of shops, which are crowded during the day and deserted at night, and are not as good as supermarkets, shopping malls and movie theaters near some gas stations.

As a result, many wealthy people do not live around the city, but in well-maintained neighborhoods in the suburbs.

Rilison's home is a ten-minute drive from the city, and he rode for more than twenty minutes to the door of the Adidas store.

At this time, it was just after ten o'clock in the morning, and there were many people coming and going on the street, and there were a lot of people gathered at the door of Adidas, at least a dozen young men, laughing and chatting in twos and threes.

Just as Rilison was parking next to him, a little black came over and asked loudly: "Hey, buddy, have you been drawn? I will buy it with cash here, and I promise not to let you suffer!"

After all, after working outside for a few years, Raylison is still a little scheming.

He smiled and asked, "Who's so lucky? If I were to buy a pair of 399s, what would you say it would cost?"

"In the past two days, we've seen seven or eight people come here to pick up the goods, and three of them have sold. Xiao Hei said quickly, "399 sells for 699, if it is a scarce red or gold, then add another 200...... We sell cheaply, just add 100 yuan of hard-earned money on top of that!"

100 yuan profit is not enough, right?

Rilison was unconsciously envious.

I can only save $100 if I work part-time for half a year!

HOWEVER, THE PRICE OF 699 IS NOT BAD, AND IF YOU SELL IT ON EBAY AND AMAZON, YOU HAVE TO PAY A HANDLING FEE, AND YOU CAN'T EARN 300 YUAN.

It's nice to trade on the spot like this.

It's just a pity!

The color he chose was white, so maybe that's why he was selected!

If you change to rarer reds and golds, you have a smaller chance of winning the bid!
